This is my favorite simple go-to salad. I use it as a side salad for dinner served alongside some grilled fish or chicken. If I’m enjoying this salad for lunch I’ll add some chickpeas and hemp seeds on top for some plant-based protein. I love how simple and delicious the dressing is! Hope you love it!
